"The great question which I have not been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is What does a woman want?"

~Sigmund Freud

"A man always blames the woman who fooled him. In the same way he blames the door he walks into in the dark."

~Henry Louis Mencken

"If divorce has increased by one thousand percent, don't blame the women's movement. Blame the obsolete sex roles on which our marriages were based."

~Betty Naomi Friedan

"Why is it that men can be bastards and women must wear pearls and smile?"

~Lynn Hecht Schafren

"Men and women are limited not by the place of their birth, not by the color of their skin, but by the size of their hope."

~John Johnson

"A very large amount of human suffering and frustration is caused by the fact that many men and women are not content to be the sort of beings that God has made them, but try to persuade themselves that they are really beings of some different kind."

~Eric Mascall

"Life without sex might be safer but it would be unbearably dull. It is the sex instinct which makes women seem beautiful, which they are once in a blue moon, and men seem wise and brave, which they never are at all. Throttle it, denaturalize it, take it away, and human existence would be reduced to the prosiac, laborious, boresome, imbecile level of life in an anthill."

~Henry Louis Mencken

"Males and females have never seemed to fully understand each other. It will probably continue this way, but I think that's part of the magic of it all."
